Prego update: Week 21-27

Can I seriously shed a tear of how quick this pregnancy is going? I was talking to my husband the other night about it and the little guy will be here in 13 weeks!

So much has gone on the past couple of weeks since I last posted an update.

If you read my previous post, we found out Baby B is a BOY!!! We are over the moon and so blessed to be this little guy's parents. After finding out, it really got us excited to start planning the future with him and get the nursery going.

We have some ideas swirling for the nursery. We're going for a more rustic feel & look. Something that is relaxing and brings a sense of peace when we spend time in their with him. We picked up the furniture last weekend from my sister. Passed down from my nephews. Brings back a lot of memories when they were little. We also did pick up the boards for the wall in the nursery. Going with an entire wall of wood boards for the rustic touch. With a semi-plan in order for the nursery, we're moving in the right direction. My husband wants to get the nursery done by the end of April. (He has a feeling the baby will be coming early).

We FINALLY registered!!! Oh my goodness, was that an overwhelming experience. We started at Buy Buy Baby. We had a rep walk around with us to show us what was needed because let's be honest, we have NO IDEA. She was very informative, but choose some very poor words when giving her opinions on specific products. We really wanted to nail down some of the bigger items. We were not able to do that because she was not trained in that department and the individual that was, was already helping someone. Totally fine, we should've started there. We spent about 2 hours in there and once we left my husband said he would not be registering for awhile. He was such a trooper so I've got to give him that. We were both overwhelmed and exhausted. I even needed a couple weeks break to finish up the registering which I am doing with my mom and sister this weekend!

Cravings:  Sweet tooth is on full overload.
Makes me puke: I am having a hard time finding stuff for dinner that is appealing to me. Nothing that would make me sick, appetite is just not there at night except for sweets.

Movements: baby is moving so much! He has been most active at night once I put my feet up he is a little machine. My husband loves feeling the baby move. As the weeks progress, he has become a little more active during the day, but the night is still a dance party for him. I absolutely love feeling him move and watching my stomach move as well.

 Glucola test. YIKESSSSSS. Something I have been dreading for awhile. I survived and made it through and PASSED with flying colors. So happy we don't have to worry about that.



Health & Fitness: I have been doing the best I can to keep my nutrition clean and steady workouts. I finished Insanity Max 30 last week and started on 21 Day Fix. I love the feeling I get from lifting weights and the soreness, so I couldn't pass Autumn up. The days are getting longer and the temperature is getting warmer, so we've be able to take more walks outside with Stella. I am a little slower then normal and the distance may be cut down, but it feels so good to get outside and do stuff we love to do.

Consignment sales: HOLY SMOKES. So I have known about these bad boys through my sister while my nephew's were growing up, but I never saw the value in them until NOW. We went to our first one last weekend and also another one last night. (one more next weekend), I can not believe how many AWESOME deals you can truly snag as these sales. I guess I never realized it before we registered. Our little guy had a wardrobe that is growing rapidly along with some little shoes as well to match mommy that I couldn't pass up. If you are expecting or already a mommy, I highly recommend these types of sales. All of the inventory has been to checked so nothing is broken, worn down, or stained. They usually have a half price sale the very last day that you can snag some really good deals.

Oh and last but not least, we have booked a BABYMOON and can't wait to share with you guys in the next post. Lips are sealed until then :) We fly out on Thursday evening.

Thanks for following me throughout our pregnancy journey.

Until next time.

XOXO,
